Watch a special message from Sam Heughan where he thanks fans for voting him BBC America’s Anglo Fan Favorites Man of 2014.

…here’s how it works: we pit beloved British celebrities, in tournaments of 32 men and 32 women, against each other, and each week, you’ll vote for the winners in a set of matchups, whittling down the fields until there is one man and one woman standing, the British Man and Woman of 2014.

In the final contest between Sam Heughan and David Tennant (Doctor Who), 3 million votes were cast and Sam won with 61%.

To celebrate, Sam filmed this video for fans that Outlander‘s official twitter account shared with us. As you’ll see, Sam is in his JAMMF gear, on-set in Scotland. He accepts the award, thanks fans for voting, and reminds us to tune into season 1B of Outlander when it comes back on April 4, 2015 (as if we’d forget!):

Sam is so sweet! I originally thought cast and crew had finished filming season one of Outlander, but perhaps they were back in Scotland to film reshoots? In any event, I’ll never get tired of seeing Sam in Jamie’s plaid.
